The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1713 The Position of All Saints

The ancient land of Huangcheng is extremely empty and the environment is harsh, but it produces some rare divine objects, which are of decent value.

However, if it is just because of the divine objects, the human race does not need to build a base there and fight desperately with the monsters there.

The reason why the human race sticks to the ancient land of Huangcheng is because Confucius once issued a sacred oracle, and the ancient land of Huangcheng is unique in location. Once occupied by monsters, it is very likely to become a springboard for the monster world to the Shengyuan Continent. Defending the ancient land of Huangcheng is to protect the Shengyuan Continent.

Many people are talking about the Chen family, the Zong family and the ancient land of Huangcheng below the article.

Some people expressed surprise that since the divine objects in the ancient land of Huangcheng can only be said to be average, far inferior to the ancient land of Shihan and the ancient land of Confucius, or even inferior to the ancient land of Xuemang, then the Chen family simply gave up. Anyway, the ancient land of Huangcheng is a deserted city everywhere, so they can occupy it at will.

More and more people support this view. After a full hour, a scholar from a semi-saint family solved the mystery.

It turned out that after the first battle of the Two Worlds Mountain, the saints of the human race found that not only did ordinary scholars lack a sense of crisis, but even the disciples of the saints' families had lost their enthusiasm for expanding territory and the most important spirit of exploration.

In order to inspire the human race, the saints not only implemented the most well-known measures such as emphasizing war poems and increasing practical classes, but also formulated a new system for the saints' families based on the literary list, which was the system of changing the position of the saints that only the children of the families knew about.

The human race's Saints' Temple enshrines Confucius, the six sub-saints and all the semi-saints.

Confucius lives in the deepest part of the Saints' Temple and is undoubtedly the first person in the Saints' Temple.

The six sub-saints are lined up, standing below the statue of Confucius, and also in the middle.

The statues of the other saints are on both sides of the Saints' Temple, like civil and military ministers attending court.

The initial ranking of the saints was based on the order of canonization. Even so, there was still controversy among the families. Many people believed that the ranking should be based on merit, while some believed that some semi-saints should be given preferential treatment and ranked higher.

After the first battle of Liangjie Mountain, the Holy Academy reviewed the contributions made by the saints' families to the human race every three years, including the number of geniuses in the family, the number of new generation of Jinshi, the achievements of the holy way, and the military merits of killing monsters and barbarians.

Among them, military merit accounted for the highest proportion, reaching 70%.

The ranking of the saints was changed to be arranged completely according to the number of merits of the family in three years.

The ranking of the saints caused strong opposition from the families, but the saints joined forces to implement it, and the saints' families had to accept it.

The military merits of the ancient land of the deserted city basically accounted for 15% to 20% of the total merits of each family.

If any family of the Zong family or the Chen family lost an ancient land of the deserted city, it would affect the position of the saints.

Now the Zong family is in its heyday. Even if it loses the ancient land of the deserted city, the ranking of the Zongsheng family will only fall back a dozen places. However, if the Jingguo Chen family loses the ancient land of the deserted city, it will fall into the bottom 20 families.

If you enter the bottom 20 families, you will be punished. The lower you are, the heavier the punishment.

On the contrary, the higher the position of the saints, the more benefits each family will get, and the more power the children of the family will have in the Holy Court.

The position of the saints of the Zongsheng family is fifteenth.

Not counting the virtual saints, there are ninety-eight statues in the Hall of Saints, including Confucius and six sub-saints.

If these seven families are not counted, the Zongsheng family ranks eighth among the semi-saint families, which has always been the pride of the Zong family.

In the peak period of Chen Guanhai, the Chensheng family was able to rank in the top 20 of the saints, but since he was injured in the battle of Liangjie Mountain, he rarely took care of the Chen family, which led to the rapid contraction of the Chen family's power and led to a continuous retreat in the position of the saints.

The Chen family tried their best to put Chen Guanhai's statue in a more prominent position, but as Chen Guanhai did not show up for a long time, the Chen family declined rapidly, and Chen Guanhai's position in the holy temples became more and more backward.

Especially in the past two years, the Chen family has been on the verge of collapse. If they lose the ancient city of Huangcheng, the consequences will be disastrous.

Now, a Jinshi from the Zong family is shouting at the Chen family, aggressively.

Under this article, several old scholars from the Zong family pretended to scold, thinking that the author of this article was too presumptuous. How could a mere Jinshi ask for debts from the Chen Sheng family?

At first, they were talking in a serious manner, but then several clan members gradually revealed their true intentions. They criticized the clan scholar who wrote the article, but then added a sentence, "The Chen Sheng family is famous all over the world, how could it be as dirty as you think? If they lose, the Chen Sheng family will definitely hand over the deserted city to the clan, so you don't need to say anything!"

The clan members sang the same tune under the article, constantly squeezing the Chen family, and even occasionally mentioned Fang Yun, implying that Fang Yun was incompetent and made the Chen family lose the bet.

Under the article, some people also mentioned the Xun family and the Meng family, because the Meng family bet on a frost-patterned iron mine in the ancient land of Shihan, betting that Fang Yun could do it, and at that time the Xun family was in chaos, and most people opposed Fang Yun, so they bet on Bingmu Lake, betting that Fang Yun could not do it.

Whether it is the frost-patterned iron mine or Bingmu Lake, its value is no less than that of a state, so it caused a sensation in the human race.

However, the two families quickly replied that the bet between the two families had been lifted long ago, and they could not hurt their relationship for a joke.

The Chen family did not respond to the article written by the Zong family Jinshi, so the Zong family and some scholars who had old grudges against the Chen Sheng family or Jingguo began to mock and attack the article.

However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that those people's attacks on the Chen family were false, and their attacks on Jingguo and Fang Yun were real.

Soon, someone responded.

"The Chen family will definitely resolve this matter within this year, without you having to worry about it. If the Chen family can't resolve it, then I will personally go to the ancient land of Huangcheng to conquer a city, and then hand it over to your clan!"

The answer is Fang Yun.

The discussion list became more lively, and many scholars began to discuss the sentence "Fang Yun".

Fang Yun's official seal was quickly filled with letters, and many people wanted to know the inside story.

Fang Yun put down his official seal and left the discussion list. Just as he was about to process official documents, he received a letter from Chen Mingding, the head of the Chen family.

"Our Chen family was originally planning to deal with this matter coldly, and no one would care about it in a few days. It's a good thing that you actually spoke before the Chen family, making the matter even bigger."

"Some trivial matters are not worthy of your attention. I just don't like the way the Zong family looks."

"A deserted city is no small matter. I won't turn a blind eye."

"How are you going to deal with this?" Fang Yun asked.

"Actually... just after the New Year, our Chen family discussed this issue internally. Our attitude at that time was that we hoped to replace the deserted city with other properties to compensate the Zong family. However, after several months of negotiations, the Zong family still disagreed. We Chen The family had to give up. It took too long to leave a deserted city, plus... I admit that some of our Chen family members were reluctant to leave the city, so they deliberately slowed down their departure from the city. As you can see, the Zong family members became impatient. Start attacking."

"I see. You don't have to move for a few days, so don't move until August 15th passes, and then deal with the deserted city."
